I think in the next 12 hours they'll be back to where they were... cap back on and getting close to half the oil, or whatever amount they've been able to capture per day. There's not much that changes now so the media wants to make this out to be more than it really is. Better no cap for a day than 11 more workers dead.

The concise Brittanica Encyclopedia estimates the Gulf of Mexico to be
about 650 Quadrillion gallons (650,000,000,000,000,000) (give or take 1223gallons) of water.

What % is oil ?

Would an Eye dropper drop of oil in a Olympic sized
Swimming pool
be a Bigger Oil spill by Comparison ?


http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_gallons_of_water_are_in_the_Gulf_of_Mexico


Yes, but crunch these numbers.... The parts per billion of oil that kill the smallest living things (and bigger things too), and multiply that buy the countless millions of gallons of oil, and I bet it's a big enough number to get your attention.

There was excellent and informative post going on in the rubber room on this subject.. Lostlake seemed to be a bit of a expert.

As understand the amount of oil isn't Big problem yet.. Unless it finds ground.. That's when the issue relly gets bad contamination marshes and ground water. No one knows the affect a Hurrican may have.
Heres a link to another controversial concern

There's not even words that can describe how bad that would be.... maybe a catastrophe of biblical proportions or apocalyptic disaster! To think everything the US has done since 911 to stop terrorists, but something like this being overlooked? I think the terrorists are winning simply because the US is fighting another attack at all cost, and that cost they can't afford, and in the process letting way too much slide.

Not big on blame. It's been done.

Clean-up now bigger concern. Biggest problem seems to be PAH's (polyaromatic hydrocarbons). Fortunately nature has provided a cure in the form of fungi. Yep, fungi. Fungi grow exponentially, and eat PAH's, plus a lot of other things. Only problem: fungi don't like pure oil. They like to start on cellulose and hemicellulose, like rice straw and sugarcane bagasse.

Feel sorry for the Gulf, but time to move away from grief or you get stuck in the crud(e).
